15 Pearls Of Wisdom

Or, "Things it took me over 50 years to learn." From Dave Barry.

 

Got any to add any to this list?

 

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

 

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

 

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

 

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

 

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

 

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

 

7. Never lick a steak knife.

 

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

 

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

 

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

 

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

 

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.

 

13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

 

14. Your friends love you anyway.

 

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of skilled professionals built the Titanic

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and DUCT TAPE.

 

If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.

 

If it shouldn't move and does, use the DUCT TAPE.

On the half full/half empty glass question? There is always something in the glass. And, hey, there's the glass! So there is never nothing there. So, quit your bitchin'

These are all so good.

 

 

Ok, I think it is #9. About the daylight savings time. I know why we have it, the bankers didn't want to open at 8:00, so they wanted to change the time.

 

That is part of it, but, what was said to start with is that, the bankers and other people wanted to be able to golf later so, change the time and they had more light in the evenings.

 

That sure seemed to be a good excuse at least. How true it was, who knows.
